UTIL DOS MENU SHELL HELP SECURITY NETWORK MOUSE LOG REPORTS ASP
FILES: HDM460.SDN

Updated Release

This program is  a DOS shell that hides  the underlying operating
system from the uninitiated user, yet  does not get in the way of
the expert user.  The basic system consists of up to one thousand
menu  files with  twenty-six menu  pages each.  Each page has ten
entries for  a total of 260,000  entries to choose from.  You can
start a menu entry by pointing to it with the cursor or the mouse
and then press  the <Enter> key or left mouse button,  or you can
simply  press the  number key  associated with  that entry.  Each
entry can start a program,  run a batch file,  or execute any DOS
command.  An entry can also have multiple steps which can include
any or all of the  possibilities above plus special HDM functions
and macros.  You can change  menu pages by  using the <PgUp>  and
<PgDn>  keys  or  by  pressing  the  <A>  through  <Z> keys to go
directly to  a page that  has menu entries  in it. Each  page and
each  entry  has  a  user  definable  description.  You can go to
another menu file  by using the menu action  function {MENU ###}.
The menu files are numbered from zero to 999.

The  <F10> key  displays a  horizontal  menu  at the  top of  the
screen.  The  choices  from  the  menu  include:  "Menu", "Page",
"Security", "Local", "Global", or "Exit". Help can be accessed at
any time and will present you with another menu and  screens that
explain how to use  the Hard Disk Menu System.  "Menu" allows you
to add, change, delete, move, or copy the menu entry descriptions
and their associated menu action. "Page" lets you change the name
of  a Page  Index entry,  import pages,  switch pages,  or delete
pages.  "Security"  allows  you  to  set  up  User ID's, security
levels,  and passwords.  "Local" lets  you set  variables in  the
current menu file and "Global" lets you set variables that affect
all  menu files.  "Exit" leaves  HDM and  returns you  to the DOS
prompt or opens a DOS window  where you can  run any DOS command,
program,  or  batch  file.  Other  commands  in  the  Top  Menu's
pull-down menus  allow you to  change colors and  window borders,
set  up  macros,  add  menu titles,  set  mouse sensitivity,  set
communications parameters, set time for automatic blanking of the
menu screen,  and  set up  hands-off timed  execution of any menu
entry any time of the day, week, or month.
